It’s a week since Javelina Jundred, and as I type I’m wearing slippers, ski socks and a hoodie. There is horizontal snow outside. The dog is watching me closely, wondering why the family has ceased their obsessive running adventures, and The Weather Network calls for a high of -9 in […]

You’d think living in the mountains is all pros when it comes to trail running. But when Canadian winter comes to town and refuses to budge well past its expiry date, you can’t help but find a few cons in there too. From ski distractions, to spring seemingly being put […]

Gear Review: Salomon Speed Cross 3

On April 1, 2014 By jschmidty

This is not so much of a Salomon Speed Cross 3 CS review as it is a long-term test of a true winter killer. Before the Classic Ontario Winter started, I purchased a wonderfully bright orange and black pair of Salomon Speed Cross 3s with Climashield in the hopes I […]
